Hi there! I’d like to present my idea for a United Korean Ground Forces tech tree, taking the best parts of the North and South and making a complete 5-line tree with as little copy-paste as possible. There is a lot of debate about where Korean vehicles should go in-game: the most common opinions seem to be the North within the Chinese tree, or the South within the US or Japanese trees, but a large number of people also want a United Korean tree, and so here it is! Korea has only previously been truly united for only a couple months following the collapse of Imperial Japan after WW2 before it was carved up by the US and USSR, so there are virtually no technological relations between them, but they have a shared history and language, and reunification, even if far off, is still a goal for many on both sides.
Due to both Koreas only existing as independent nations following WW2, and with indigenous tank building only taking place starting in the 70s for the North, and even later for the South, I believe starting at Rank III is the best option (similar to Israel). This would therefore require Rank III in possibly China, USSR or US vehicles to start progressing down this tree. Hope you enjoy it!

Line 1 – DPRK Light Tanks and MBTs
✪ T-34 (1941)
T-34 (1941)
Some of North Korea’s first tanks, obtained from the Soviet Union from the late 40s to the early 50s. They were crucial in the Korean War, and served alongside SU-76s and T-34-85s. Some are still spotted today in North Korean propaganda videos and training exercises, but most likely only in use with the Worker-Peasant Red Guards (a paramilitary militia), alongside other antiquated tanks like the T-34-85s and SU-100s.
Identical to the one in-game, BR of 4.0. Reserve vehicle.

Thousands of T-54s imported from the Soviet Union in the 60s, with around 3500 in service today (including Chinese built Type 59s). Predominantly the 1951 model. Some modified to instead use a 14.5mm KPVT instead of a 12.7mm DShK.

✪ 68
68
The ‘68’ is the possible name given to domestically-produced Type 59s. They were initially basically identical to the standard Type 59, other than replacing the 12.7mm Type 54 with a 14.5mm HMG. However, they have undergone a series of upgrades, including provisions for slat armour, a single HT-16PGJ (Igla-derived) SAM on the turret roof, and smoke grenade launchers. Should be given the same ammunition selection as the T-55A to justify a higher BR.
Armament: 100mm D-10TG
Engine: 520hp, 50km/h

Conclusion
A United Korea tree allows for many unique vehicles to be added to the game, with minimal copy-paste, and enabling the full potential for the Korean peninsula. The tree has solid lineups for most prominent BRs, including a full top-tier (11.3-11.7) lineup with 5x MBTs, an ATGM carrier, light tank, and SAM system.
Both countries are expanding their militaries and moving towards more advanced designs, and this gives the tree future potential as well.
I hope you support this! If anyone has any suggestions, or corrections to the post, please let me know! :)
